Nisab Today in PHP
The live zakat threshold in Philippine Peso, from today's gold and silver prices (2026-08-13).
How to use these numbers
If your zakatable wealth in Philippine Peso — cash in PHP, gold and silver, money owed to you, and business inventory — stays at or above the nisab for one full lunar year, zakat of 2.5% is due. Most scholars recommend checking against the lower silver figure (75,631 PHP today) so that zakat reaches more people.

Frequently asked questions
What is the nisab in PHP today?+
Using the gold standard (85 g of pure gold), today's nisab is about 728,617 PHP. Using the silver standard (595 g) it is about 75,631 PHP. Figures refresh daily with metal prices and the PHP exchange rate.
Gold or silver standard — which should I use?+
Most scholars recommend the silver nisab because it is lower — zakat becomes due sooner and more of the poor benefit. The gold standard is also valid.
Why does the nisab in Philippine Peso change?+
Two moving parts: the global gold/silver price, and the PHP exchange rate. Both update daily, so a nisab figure published months ago can be far off — this page always shows today's value.
